At first, Li Changsheng didn't know who this HSBC boss Shen Bi was?
He thought this guy was a middle-aged woman, but later he found out that he was from England and the chairman of HSBC Bank.
The reason why the system rewards the personal friendship with Shen Bi, the boss of HSBC Bank, is also related to Li Bancheng.
This person gave Li Bancheng crucial support on his way to become the richest man.
In this time and space, if Li Changsheng wants to become a tycoon, he also needs his support.
It was already very difficult for Li Changsheng's Asian real estate company to obtain a 20% stake in Hutchison Whampoa.
There was opposition within HSBC, because HSBC is the bank that mortgages the shares of Hutchison Whampoa and has a great say.
The system introduced: "This person was a dropout student at Oxford University and participated in World War II. He was demobilized to Xiangjiang in 1948 and joined HSBC Bank. He worked in Singapore and HSBC branches in the island country for several years. In 1977, he was appointed as the chairman of HSBC until his retirement in 1987.
During his tenure, HSBC's profits grew rapidly and its business development reached its peak.
He has a vigorous and bold style, and has a close relationship with Chinese business people.
It turns out that in that time and space, in 1979, all the common shares of Rongzi Hutchison Enterprises held by HSBC were sold to Li Bancheng's Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd.
In the original time and space in 1979, Hutchison Whampoa Company, one of the four old British-owned firms in Xiangjiang, was not doing well due to poor management. HSBC, the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, intended to sell it. , An urgent need for a "banking license" to open up the closed loop of its own business empire.
It was at this time that Li Bancheng got acquainted with Shen Bi, the boss of HSBC Bank. It is said that he was introduced by his wife Yueming to meet Shen Bi.
In September 1979, Li Bancheng purchased of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC for only 620 million yuan through an agreement transfer. At that time, Hutchison Whampoa's net assets were as high as 6 billion yuan.
Moreover, HSBC also allows Li Bancheng to use installment payment, which can be paid off within two years. The down payment only needs 20%, and this 20% of the down payment is also loaned to Li Bancheng by HSBC.
In this way, Li Bancheng won the British firm Hutchison Whampoa almost without paying a penny, and staged the most classic "snake swallowing an elephant" in the history of Xiangjiang's commercial war.
In 1980, the Cheung Kong Group already owned more than 40% of Hutchison Whampoa shares, and Li Bancheng also became the chairman of the board of Hutchison Whampoa, becoming the first middle-aged woman to enter Hong Kong Yang Yang.
How much did Shen Bi contribute to Li Bancheng in this transaction? We don't know.
But what we can be sure of is that without Hutchison Whampoa, Li Bancheng would not be dubbed "Li Chao. Not to mention being the "richest man in Chinese" for 16 consecutive years.
In 1986, when Shen Bi officially retired from HSBC, Li Bancheng personally presented a 1-meter-long pure gold statue as a farewell gift, engraved with the headquarters building of HSBC Bank on the statue, to thank Shen Bi for his kindness in helping him back then.
In this time and space, before this, the wife of Daban Shen Bi was kidnapped by the Nanyue gang. It was Li Changsheng who repelled the Nanyue gang and rescued his wife, for which he was very grateful.
Li Changsheng also did what he liked, and got some very rare antique watches, and gave them to Daban Shen Bi.
Because before that, Shen Bi, the top class, bought a lot of good watches in Xiangjiang, and later wrote the collection into a book "Shen Bi's Collection of Watches", using the best paper, the most precise printing, and the layout design is modeled after the collection of the Morgan Consortium. A monograph, limited to 100 copies. With such a printing number, it is absolutely sold in gold, but it must be sold very happily.
In this way, with this kind of friendship, with the help of Daban Shen Bi, Li Changsheng spent another 200 million to acquire another 20% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, and now he has become a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa!
Then use the land resources held by Hutchison Whampoa to develop real estate and become the Minister of Real Estate!
Li Changsheng knew that Li Bancheng had another backer, the Chief of Police!
That night, Li Changsheng had dinner with a policeman.
This policeman is now Li Junxia, the Assistant Commissioner of Police.
This future is the first Chinese Police Commissioner in Hong Kong!
Because before that, the police commissioners were all foreign devils.
The Commissioner of Police is the head of the Hong Kong Police Force, leading more than 30,000 police officers in Hong Kong. Because the license plate of No. 1 car is held by the Commissioner of Police, it is called "Brother No. 1" by the Xiangjiang police.
This person who was able to serve as the first Chinese Police Commissioner is very wise and skilled!
Before that, Li Changsheng established a good relationship with him, got a lot of information, and at the same time reciprocated, allowing him to get many non-messages from other associations, which made him a lot of credit.
He can actually guess Li Changsheng's background, which is the fundamental reason why he is willing to associate with Li Changsheng.
When Li Changsheng has a good relationship with him and turns him into his own, it can be regarded as cutting off the right arm of Li Bancheng's right-hand man!
It turned out that in that time and space, in 1996, Li Bancheng's eldest son was kidnapped by gangsters who demanded a sky-high ransom of 2 billion, causing a sensation in all circles in Xiangjiang.
In desperation, Li Bancheng called a person. He was the first Chinese police chief of Xiangjiang who had just retired, Li Junxia who was known as "the first brother of Xiangjiang".
Under the anxious situation, he only asked Li Bancheng one question: "Do you want a son or money?"
Li Bancheng heard that, no longer hesitated, and immediately went to the bank to withdraw the money.
However, the daily withdrawal limit of the bank is only 1 billion yuan. Seeing Li Bancheng's sincerity, the kidnappers readily reduced the remaining 1 billion ransom, and finally his son was able to return home safely.
After this appalling vicious incident, Li Bancheng was left with lingering fears, and immediately hired Li Junxia as their family's security consultant, offering an annual salary of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Li Junxia is courageous and scheming, he takes both black and white, and he is a well-known figure in the Xiangjiang police circle.
He not only ordered top-level bulletproof vehicles from Germany for the Li family, was responsible for the security system of the Li family villa, but also equipped Li Bancheng's office with iris recognition and other security equipment, and designed a car that can go directly from the underground parking lot to the 70th floor. The elevator in the office is only for Li Bancheng to enter and exit.
People who often pay attention to Li Bancheng may find that no matter where Li Bancheng goes, there are always a group of foreigners by his side. These burly foreigners are actually Ji Bancheng's bodyguards.
These people are different from the security guards in the community, most of them are foreign mercenaries. Those who have watched "Wolf Warrior" have a deep impression of mercenaries. Many mercenaries are very powerful, and their combat power even exceeds that of many regular troops. Many of them have served in the army for many years, and after retiring, they switched to become mercenaries in order to make money.
There are 24 bodyguards in Li Bancheng's family, and a small part of them are G4 from Xiangjiang, which is the so-called protection VIP group.
People who have watched the movie "Anti-Corruption Storm 5" should have a deep impression on this aspect. G4 are the elites of Xiangjiang Police Force, they are responsible for protecting the dignitaries who visit Xiangjiang.
At that time, Li Junxia thought that choosing foreign mercenaries had an advantage, that is, these people had simple relationships in Xiangjiang, and these people had higher professional quality.
From then on, the Li family was like a residence of gods and Buddhas, and there was no safe way to get Zhao.
After Li Junxia passed away in 2017, the security system he set up during his lifetime was operating as strictly as ever, living up to the 1 billion annual salary invested, and continuing to ensure the peace and tranquility of Li Bancheng's family.
Ding dong! Congratulations to the master for cutting off Li Junxia, the right arm of Superman Li Bancheng, and reward the master with 10 detectives, distributed in all levels of the police force, all of which are from Hong Kong movies, with a loyalty of 100 to the master. "
Li Changsheng saw that there were several people from Infernal Affairs, such as Senior Inspector Liu Jianming who resembled Liu Tianwang!
Over the years, Liu Jianming has worked tirelessly in the police force, and with the support of Han Chen behind him, he has provided a lot of intelligence on the enemy's underworld crimes. But since the undercover incident was exposed, Liu Jianming was under pressure from Han Chen. Liu Jianming has quietly conceived a plan to clear his identity in his heart. Han Chen is his biggest obstacle, but he has made up his mind to become a good policeman.
Now in this time and space, Li Changsheng will provide them with various crimes of other societies, including some rich people's crimes, and help them make meritorious deeds "support them to go to the
